Use timers to control lights so your house looks lived in at night

Leave a radio on when you are gone

Keep bushes and trees trimmed back to reduce hiding places

Don’t leave ladders or other items out where they can be used to gain entry

Have a lockable security container for laptops, jewelry, and other small valuables
